The Wellerman Sea Shanty
Verse 1
There once was a ship that put to sea
And the name of that ship was the Billy o'Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)
Chorus
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Verse 2
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
